Frànçois & The Atlas Mountains is the art-pop and electronic project of the French-born, London-based musician François Marry. Emerging from the Nantes indie scene in the late 2000s, the band built a reputation for sophisticated, danceable songs that blended French chanson with Anglo-American indie rock. For "Le fil," Marry reconvened with the Moroccan band Atlas Mountains, with whom he had recorded the album "Piano Ombre." This 2025 single also saw him working with producer Ash Workman, known for his work with Metronomy and Baxter Dury.
